Spiff,
It really is unusual these days. I think it's the time change. On daylight time AZ time is the same as Pacific. On standard time, AZ is with mountain. That's no big deal, except when you call or use the Internet out of state the time difference with everyone else has an hour added to it. From 2 hr diff with Eastern to 3 hr diff. You never think about it much until you're in a little island of time that doesn't change from standard to daylight. Big mess, actually. It appeals a lot to the Rugged Individualist crowd, but it's a pain in the ass for everyone else.

Spiffy,
I just had applesauce and graham crackers with underripe green pears. I can send you a pie by overnight express. If I put dry ice in the package, it should arrive fresh as a daisy. Got to keep this short. Barfing on the keyboard is enough to make you barf a second time.
I don't know why I'm leaving this comment, but here it is.

And made me nauseous.

Spiffie,
There are six possibilities on the applesauce mystery.
- First: Mommy slops sauce all over baby and baby's clothes while feeding baby.
- Second: Baby burps and slops sauce all over self as mommy has baby eat
while she puts on makeup. - Third: Baby gets sick and urps sauce all over self while mommy isn't looking.
- Fourth: Baby eats sauce so fast that baby gets it all over clothes and face,
becomes ill from fast eating, poops undigested sauce into diaper. - Fifth: Mommy throws all of babies clothes into washer, all smell of sauce,
wash water becomes rich with sauce smell, everything smells like sauce. - Sixth: Applesauce is a natural baby smell.
Nice how that table deal works, iddin' it?
That about cover it? I'm sure I missed some others. JJ

You haven't lived,
until you have to go visit the very deaf, very loud family pharmacist to ask him if he has something to get rid of the crabs. His answer, at about 1000 decibels, in front of EVERYONE you've ever known in your whole life, is "WHAT'S A NICE YOUNG FELLER LIKE YOU DOIN' WITH THE MAD SNAPPERS!"
Ginger Ale wouldn't have helped, but the quart of bourbon required to go with it might...

Spiffy,
You big crybaby! I got some kind of kerosine shit mixed with soap and water.
Graham crackers got me worse. Graham crackers and car carpet both make me feel like puking. I ate graham crackers until I puked during a car trip. It was all over the floor in the back seat of the car. Now I can't even eat pie that has graham cracker crust. I hope they don't have car carpet that smells like graham crackers in my coffin. Sometimes the Devil does shit like that when he's bored.
Thank you. What's next? Are you making me think of you? Stop it! JJ

Oh that is so gross.
If my sons ever come home with them I may have to do something drastic...like maybe shave their heads for the next 10 years or so.

My stepdaughters routinely came home from their mothers
with rampaging full blown bouts of head lice. Then all the kids would get it and I would be stuck doing 6 heads of hair and all the stuff in the house to do. I hate that filthy witch! When I went to pick the kids up for the road trip, the first thing I asked was, "Does anyone have head lice?" Thankfully not, my daughter has hair down to her butt! Makes my head crawl just thinking about it. ewwww

do they even do those anymore? the routine lice checks? i remember sitting in line while the "nurse" raked through my classmates head. fear always built up in me because if i had it, my mom would be pissed..... having to wash all of our things, etc..... thanks for writing about the one thing that truly had me paranoid as a child. i had forgotten that gut knotting fear of waiting for the "result" of my head.... LOL
thankfully i never had lice....
great post though, well described :)
